The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

A gust of cold wind blew, and a continuous stream of snowflakes came hurling down, threatening to crush the Patriot like a sieve. Simultaneously, the ground began to shake again, and spikes sprouted, forcing the Patriot to move. Black knives and meteors from the sky followed suit, refusing to let the Patriot go.

Facing a four-pronged attack, the Patriot retreated, holding his shield high to block the attacks. Because the Patriot had rushed too far forward, he had ample distance to retreat. But at this moment, the shadow behind the Patriot suddenly twisted.

"Captain, be careful!" A guerrilla shield guard saw the sudden change in the Patriot's shadow from behind and warned.

Unfortunately, by the time the guerrilla's shield guards noticed the movement, it was too late to warn them. Tentacle-like things suddenly emerged from the shadows and bound the Patriot's limbs from behind, restraining him. The last warlock had already attacked, and Patriot, restrained by his magic, could only passively withstand the attacks of the other four warlocks.

No...it wasn't just the attacks from these four warlocks. You have to know that right now on the front lines of the battlefield, the Patriots had to face countless explosions, crossbows, and attacks from other ordinary warlocks.

"Captain of support! Ahem... damn it!"

The lagging shield guards wanted to step forward to block these attacks for the Patriots, but they were also affected by other spells and crossbows, and had no time to return to support.

However, if you think that this can defeat the Patriot, you are underestimating his ability. The Patriot is still emitting black gas, and it seems that he is ready to use his destructive posture to completely crush everything.

But just when everyone, including Patriot himself, thought that he should be the one to take the blow, Patriot suddenly found a blonde figure in front of him.

"boom!"

"Not bad, quite interesting."

Elquet suddenly appeared at the scene, punching at a speed undetectable to the naked eye, shattering all the black blades. Then, reaching back, she grabbed a meteor and smashed it directly at the icy snowflakes and spikes on the ground.

There was a huge explosion and pieces of rocks were ejected in all directions. Elquet crossed his arms over his chest, letting the energy of the explosion and the debris sweep towards him, but he acted as if nothing had happened, letting the strong wind blow his short hair and make it tremble continuously.

"..." A hint of surprise flashed across the Patriot's eyes. He hadn't expected to see another person who could so easily break the spell with the power of his body. It was as if this person was brought back by Wang Chong. Another unknown but powerful person.

"He asked me to come and help you evacuate. Now the goal has been achieved. You can continue to retreat to the first pass. With the mountain as cover, those magic tricks can't hurt you." Elquet pinched his knuckles, as if he hadn't exercised for a long time.

"...Thank you." The Patriot said nothing more. He was well aware of the strategic objectives of this move: to disrupt the enemy and to test them. Now that all the enemy's capable forces had been revealed, all that was left was to plan and defeat them one by one.

"These little gadgets are pretty good, but I still prefer purer power." Elquet stretched out his claws and easily tore apart the shadow restraints on the Patriot. After the Patriot resumed his movement, he immediately locked his murderous intent on the five war sorcerers who had just hidden behind him.

The five sorcerers shuddered, feeling the immense pressure bearing down on them. For a moment, they dared not act rashly. However, at that moment, a heavy weapon carrier drove up from the top of the slope. The multi-port launch tubes on the vehicle slowly tilted, adjusting the range of the projectiles. Then, a large number of missiles were unleashed from the carrier's launch tubes, targeting the Patriots and the Reunion Movement.

"Line up! Raise your shields!" The shield guards raised their huge shields one after another and faced the incoming fire.

"Come on!" Unexpectedly, at this time, Elquet jumped up and rushed directly towards the attacking missiles.

"Boom! Boom!!"

A burst of intense light caused everyone to shield themselves with their hands or shields. The immense energy of the explosion poured down upon the mountain, causing it to shatter and crack, and begin to slide. Seeing this, the Patriot said nothing, but instead, holding his shield high in a defensive stance, he retreated to his guerrillas, signaling with sign language for everyone to retreat.

As for Elquet, the Patriot wasn't too worried. He knew full well the power of the Imperial Thunder Chariot, and it couldn't hurt the girl who had easily broken the War Warlock's spell with her physical strength.

Sure enough, after the bright light and the sound of bombing completely disappeared, Elquet fell directly to the ground as if nothing had happened.

"Hmm... It seems that the power is almost the same as those missiles in our world. It's just that the dust particles are a little uncomfortable." Elquet pinched his fingers, roughly feeling the sensation of breaking the missile with his fist, and muttered to himself.

"Strange...another monster."

"Are we all fighting this kind of monster? We can't win... We can't win at all!"

However, what seemed so easy to Elquet was clearly not the case for the other side. To them, the mere fact that one patriot could defy the relentless barrage of firepower was already beyond their comprehension. Now, with the addition of another, the soldiers undoubtedly lost the courage to continue fighting.

"Assholes! What are you all still standing there for? Do you want to be judged by military law?" However, the commander at the front had already begun supervising the battle, urging the Ursus soldiers to forcefully engage the enemy.

"Go! Kill!" Helplessly, the soldiers could only grit their teeth and muster up their courage to charge forward.

"War... as always, it's still a bit ugly." With her keen hearing, Elquet naturally noticed the commander forcing his soldiers into battle. Her expression, which had once held a hint of interest, now turned cold. As a spirit of nature, while she greatly enjoyed this kind of pure violence, she was surprisingly indifferent and disgusted by the devastation caused by war.

"Anyone who passes through here will die!"

Elquet raised her hand and slammed her fist into the ground. The ground in front of her churned up like a floor, sending the charging Ursus soldiers careening off in the mud. Some were even swept into the earth, buried alive. The entire vanguard was quickly destroyed by Elquet's blow, and without a thorough cleanup of the rubble and churning earth, they wouldn't be able to advance anytime soon.

In the end, the Ursus Third and Fourth Mixed Regiments could only watch Patriot and his men retreat. Even though they continued to launch long-range attacks, they were all blocked by Patriot's almost indestructible shield, and had no effective impact at all.

"Even the mine-throwing vehicles have arrived, and the war wizards are coming to support them—there's no way we can't keep that patriot alive! Damn it! Where did this freak suddenly appear from? Could it be that this group of bandits has more than just the patriot's fighting power? If so, unless we have support from the internal guards, is it really possible to wipe them out in this mountainous area? No, we must report this information to the general and others immediately."

The commander in charge of the front line immediately ordered the intelligence officer to report what happened here and his own speculations.

Chapter 188: Stalemate and Waiting

"Everyone, what do you think? Let's discuss it."

In the camp, everyone had learned of the current situation on the front lines from the intelligence officers, and they fell silent. One patriot was already a problem, not to mention the addition of a mysterious woman who could withstand the power of minecarts and war wizards.

"But what else can we do, General? We can only try our best. We may even have to risk lives by then. Besides, we can only think of ways to give the warlocks a chance to deliver a fatal blow." said one of the commanders.

"In this case, we must recreate the one-on-one situation we had before. In addition, we must start with their supplies. We must find a shortcut to the mountain and find the place where they store their supplies. Only by cutting off their food supply can we force them to not go down the mountain and risk everything. That is when our heavy weapons will come in handy." said another commander.

"General, you said before that you would send private troops to assist us, but all of the above will take time to complete. Why don't we slowly advance and explore while waiting for the reinforcements to arrive?" Another commander said:

"Then we'll have the War Warlocks stationed at the front for a long time. If the Patriot attacks again, we'll prioritize killing those around him... This will not only reduce uncertainty, but might even anger the Patriot, causing him to lose his mind and charge into our encirclement, ultimately leading to our successful encirclement and destruction."

"Your idea is quite nice, but what makes you think those hidden powerful beings will allow you to surround and kill a single patriot next time?" Ulrich said. "However, your suggestion is not without merit. We do need to advance slowly and wait for the assistance that can change this situation. However, the one we are seeking assistance from is not my private army, but His Majesty the Emperor."

"Your Majesty?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"If there was only one patriot, it would be fine. But if so many powerful people who wield Originium skills gather together... then the nature of this matter is completely different. The danger level of these people is enough to threaten Your Majesty's rule. I believe Your Majesty will understand the significance behind this. What we have to do is to find out more information about this group of bandits... The more powerful people hidden among them, the more attention Your Majesty will pay." Ulrich said in a deep voice.

"General, do you mean... to request support from the Internal Security?" a commander said in a trembling voice.

The Inner Guard, the Emperor's sharp blade, was a force feared by most Ursus rulers. Not only were they directly dispatched by the Emperor, but more importantly, their nearly inhuman nature meant that even the slightest misstep could lead to a fate more horrific than death. If possible, none of them would want to engage with them.

"It's better to be safe than sorry. The appearance of that mysterious woman makes me feel uneasy." Ulrich said slowly, "By the way, how is the southwest battlefield now? Is there any news?" "The southwest direction is not good either. The mountain road is too rugged, and those guys, having learned their previous lessons, don't give our warlocks any chance to catch them. Our special attack team plans to widen the mountain road, establish positions, and advance slowly. A lot of people were sacrificed in the whole process, but as long as we can avoid the opponent's crossbows, we can at least move up the mountain little by little." said the commander in charge of contacting the southwest battlefield.

"Looks like we're going to be stuck here..." Ulrich muttered, looking toward the top of the slope, his unease growing. He had thought he had enough information about this bandit gang, but now it seemed there were too many unknown variables hidden within.

……

By afternoon, the Ursus attack had been replaced by the Fifth and Sixth Regiments, which had barely rested. They had cleared the road, which had been choked by landslides caused by the fierce fighting and was covered in debris and mud. After rebuilding some defensive fortifications, they finally began advancing again under orders.

However, whether due to a change in strategy or the current weakness of the Fifth and Sixth Regiments, they didn't hold out long after engaging the Reunion troops, and retreated. They suffered approximately 100 casualties and 3 wounded, a rather dismal performance.

However, the Fifth and Sixth Regiments seemed completely unconcerned with this matter. After a short rest, they launched another attack. This continued for about seven or eight times before finally stopping in the evening. The Seventh and Eighth Regiments took turns attacking.

Casualties on both sides reached 600 and 30, respectively. The Sarkaz's black fog had been depleted over time, and it would take at least several hours to recover. However, with Ursus's relentless nibbling tactics, they were unable to replenish their supply in a timely manner. Consequently, even the Sarkaz mercenaries began to suffer casualties.

For the Sarkaz, such a battle was really frustrating. They couldn't charge forward, and at the critical moment, the enemy retreated.

Wang Chong no longer commanded from the front lines. He knew that W and the other three were strong enough to fight according to his strategy. Now, Wang Chong had not only allowed the Patriots to test Ulrich's full potential, but also allowed Elquet to appear before the Ursus Legion for the first time, making Ulrich aware of the uncertainty and thus began to change his strategy, further slowing the pace of the war to give the Reunion Movement more time.

"Just keep consuming it, slowly consume it... What the Reunion Movement lacks most right now is time and opportunities to train." Wang Chong began to adjust the personnel deployment and began to appropriately send some of the Reunion Movement's outstanding recruits to the front line to hone their skills.

"It looks like it might not stop until nightfall. But we've made it through the first day today," Tallulah couldn't help but say.

"The most intense moment of the fighting today was in the morning. They originally thought that we had been interfering all night and were holding back their anger. Both their fighting spirit and the strategic goals they needed to achieve forced them to fight us fiercely. However, their momentum was weakened after the first one, and exhausted after the third. Not only did they change their generals at the last minute, but they were also attacked by Mr. Patriot, which severely dampened their fighting spirit. As a result, both the strategy and the soldiers' own conditions were not enough to support them to continue fighting like they did this morning." Wang Chong said slowly.

"Talulah, I suspect that Ulrich, seeing that there are new high-powered personnel on our side, is very likely to try to attract more troops to our side." Wang Chong said.

"You mean, we will face more enemies later? Far more than these 4 enemies?" Tallulah asked with a sinking heart.

"Well, but don't worry. No matter how many more people show up, as long as Ulrich is dead, this group will disperse. What we need to do now is to keep up the show as long as possible. We must not only give the non-combatants of the Reunion Movement time to leave the dug tunnels and establish a new base, but also let our new recruits adapt to the war environment as quickly as possible."

Wang Chong placed his hands behind his back and said, "There will be much more blood to be shed in the future. The Reunion Movement must constantly strive for self-improvement. Only in this way, even if they one day break away from us, they can still thrive elsewhere, realizing the ultimate ideals and vision of our Reunion Movement. We must spread our ideals even further afield."

"I know your intentions, Chong." Tallulah nodded, stood up, and then asked, "Are you going again tonight?"

"Well, I'm not taking W and Faust this time. We can't do without them on the front lines. Plus, they learned the trick last night, so it's time for someone else," Wang Chong said. "Let me think about who I should take with me today..."

"How about taking me with you?"

"you?"

Chapter 189: The Way of Man

Late into the night, the sounds of battle continued, the cries of artillery fire and spellcasting still echoing. It was now the 9th and 10th Regiments battling the Reunion. After the first half of the night, the Ursus side had suffered 427 casualties, while the Reunion had lost 33.

Judging from the change in casualty ratios, the Integration Movement's share of casualties began to increase. However, this was due to the fact that new recruits were being rotated out to rest the veterans, leading to a significant increase in casualties due to issues of acclimation and experience.

Even so, this record of defeating the enemy with fewer troops remained remarkable. It was only during the initial period that they would die on the battlefield due to lack of skill and experience. But once they adapted to this environment, they would become like the veterans, becoming a formidable fortress for Ursus.

"Both sides are still fighting. How are we going to get through? Or do we have to rely on your flying skills?" asked Talulah.

"If you rely on my ability to fly, how will you secretly raid those camps when you lead the team alone in the future? So we have to find a way ourselves. The method must be replicable, at least for you to be able to replicate it." Wang Chong said.

At this moment, Talulah, Wang Chong, and Albion were all lying on the platform on the top of the mountain, watching the fighting still going on on the southwest and northwest roads. For the time being, they had no way of running to the camp through these two roads.

"It's practically impossible to cross the battlefield and reach the opposing camp directly. Since we can't fly away, and we have to find a way back down, our only option is to use a rope to descend from the cliff."

Tallulah was no pushover. After a moment's thought, she found a suitable "downhill" route based on the terrain of her area, and then continued:

"The length of the hemp rope we've woven isn't enough to carry us all the way down the mountain. Even if we could, it would be difficult to support. Therefore, we need a few places to use as footholds. We'll climb down the rock in sections, starting from here... then there... and so on. This not only solves the problem of rope length, but also allows us to lie down and observe the situation below at each point, so we won't be spotted by enemy spies patrolling the foothills."

"That's right, but this method also means we can't have too many people. So, if we encounter this situation next time, it's best to bring people of similar skill to you, Xiaolu." Wang Chong nodded. "Then let's follow your plan. While most of the Ursus soldiers are still focused on the battlefield, let's go down first."

The two immediately set to work. Before long, three figures, taking advantage of the night, began to quietly climb down the cliff, grabbing ropes.

... "We're here." Tallulah breathed a sigh of relief after landing firmly on the ground.

"It's not over yet. Albion, pull up the rope and hold here. Once we get here, lower the rope." Wang Chong used the black mist to communicate with Albion, who remained on the platform above. He then saw Albion retract the rope, and Albion obediently listened to Wang Chong's words, lying quietly on the platform.

"We can't let ourselves be discovered by the Ursus soldiers who are passing by on patrol. And we have to send people to guard this path. Those Ursus special forces are always trying to find other ways to go up the mountain. Even if only a few people can come up this path, we still have to be on guard." Wang Chong said.

Tallulah nodded, then followed Wang Chong toward the northwest battlefield. Both of them, wearing nightwear, used the forest's secrecy and their extraordinary perception to bypass numerous defenses and arrive near the main camp.

"Is it still the same as before, just a normal harassment and then leaving?" asked Tallulah.

"Yes, but it's better to make a bigger noise. With your fire power, it should be no problem." Wang Chong said.

"Then I'll burn a few more heavy weapons and loudly create the impression that I'm leading the magic group to attack. This will not only reduce the pressure on the front line, but also allow them to divert some of their troops to put out the fire." Tallulah said after thinking for a while.

The two men waited quietly for time, waiting until the first half of the night passed and the second half began. When the people in the tents began to rest in large numbers, they began their attack on the camp.

"System, please use the villain template card for me now." Wang Chong said secretly to the system while waiting.

"Hmm? Host, are you sure you want to use this villain template card now?" The system was stunned and then said.

"Yesterday, both W's and Faust's Originium skills were still too weak. But today, Tallulah is with me, so it's a good opportunity to try out Tallulah's Originium skills. Anyway, this character card will be used sooner or later. The combat power during the trial period cannot exceed my own strength, and it can no longer be used as a key trump card. So why should I save it? Why not try it out early to see if the skills are in line with my guess?" Wang Chong said.

"Okay, then I'll use it. The host is with Tallulah now, so when using the template card, it will still default to the host's original image. It's just a test of the power, right?" asked the system.

"necessary."

"OK, host. I have used the S-rank villain template—Silas the Liberator. Congratulations to the host for acquiring the skills [Spell Sense Level 1], [Passive: Breaking Enemy Forbidden Spells Level 1], [Chain Whip Level 1], [Regicide Thrust Level 1], [Stalking/Abducting Level 1], and [The Way of the Man Level 1]. While in trial mode, all your skill levels are temporarily raised to their upper limits."

As the system's prompts chimed in, Wang Chong instantly felt a surge of immense power emanating from his body. However, the power itself was secondary. The greatest benefit to Wang Chong was the sudden surge of information in his mind related to the trajectory and patterns of spells. This information significantly enriched Wang Chong's understanding of the nature and operation of energy in the universe.

"Tsk, tsk, truly mystical. The entire world, now under my gaze, has become completely different than before." Wang Chong clearly saw the Originium dust in the atmosphere swaying in a strange rhythm, and his understanding of Originium techniques became even more profound. If Wang Chong hadn't deliberately suppressed this impulse, he was afraid that the black crown on his head would have begun to appear again.

"Then let me try it - the way of others!" Seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Chong began to use the ultimate skill of stealing men for the first time, and his target was Tallulah who was beside him.

Two chains appeared on Wang Chong's hands and wrapped around his arms. Then the other end of the chain suddenly attacked Tallulah's hands.

"Huh?" Tallulah was startled by the sudden appearance of the chain. Just as she was about to draw her sword, she realized that the chain was extending from Wang Chong's hands. She asked curiously, "A Chong, what is this chain...?"

"You'll be able to see this new ability I've developed later. Don't be too surprised. But after you were entangled by my chains, how did you feel?" Wang Chong felt the wonderful power transmitted to him by the chains. He laughed at first, and then asked about Tallulah's situation.

"No... I don't feel a thing. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known my hands were entangled in chains." Tallulah casually waved her hands around, no different from usual. It wasn't like she was seeing chains at all. It was as if what she saw was just a deceptive illusion.

"It's okay as long as you don't feel anything. Okay, let's get started." Wang Chong retracted the chain, and a long sword made of Originium crystals inexplicably appeared at his waist.

Tallulah nodded, then took the lead, raising her longsword and unleashing her Originium skills. Her eyes blazed with a fiery light like molten gold, and her toes crushed the rock beneath. From her sword's edge, a stream of molten-gold fire erupted. Instantly, the entire wasteland was illuminated by crimson flames. The intense heat distorted the air violently, and countless sparks, like swarms of crimson butterflies, swirled and rose in the raging wind, eventually converging into a towering pillar of fire that pierced the heavens.

With such a big commotion, the sentries in the Ursus camp would react immediately if they were not blind.

"Burn them all! Ursus' minions—Reunion warriors, charge with me! Crush them! Burn their blood-stained banners! Let the so-called elite of the Empire be reduced to ashes in our wrath!"

The last four words trembled like a dragon's roar, and the source stone energy of the entire wasteland resonated and trembled. At this moment, facing the piercing alarms and rain of arrows from the Ursus watchtower, Tallulah swung her sword and smashed the pillar of fire.

Chapter 190: How do you know my Originium skills?

A foehn wind swept through, cracking the ground with spiderweb-like scorching scars. Tallulah's flames shattered the rain of arrows with overwhelming force, then tore through the fence with unstoppable force, clearing away all obstacles in her path.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! It's the bandits on the mountain, they're coming down!"

The shrill voices of alarms rang out for a while, and a large number of soldiers were awakened by Tallulah's sword. Especially after hearing Tallulah's passionate charge and declaration of war, they became panicked like frightened birds.

"Everyone, follow orders! The First and Second Regiments are responsible for extinguishing the flames! We must not let those flames burn and destroy more of our heavy equipment! The Third and Fourth Regiments will meet the enemy! We must not allow them to attack us! As long as we can hold off until the Warlocks and Warlocks return, we can completely wipe out these bandits here. The rest of you, defend the camp!"

However, the non-commissioned officers and commanders also began to take action, quickly controlling the situation. At this time, a mixed regiment had already assembled and was ready to meet the enemy.

But at this moment, another pillar of fire rose from the ground, its power even greater than the previous one. At the same time, all kinds of fighting and shouting came from all over the forest:

"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"

"Witness the punishment of heavenly fire! Children of Ursus!"

"Today we will wipe them all out in one fell swoop!!"

"Oh no! It's the enemy's Originium skill! Shield guards line up!" The person in charge of command shouted loudly when he saw this.

"Look at this raging fire! Listen to the earth's wailing! Punish it on behalf of God!" At this moment, a male voice resounded throughout the camp like thunder, as if he was afraid that they were unaware that the other side was about to attack.

The massive fire tornado swung in response, burning the night sky crimson. Beneath a fiery curtain of countless sparks, waves of fire lashed towards Ursus's hastily constructed shield defenses.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
